“Tragedy is the greatest art form of all. It gives us the courage to continue with our life by exposing us to the pain of life. It is unsentimental, it takes us seriously as human beings, it is not condescending. Paradoxically, by seeing pain we are made greater, it becomes a need.” NeedsGivingHumansArtMadePainFormHuman BeingsGreaterOur LivesSeeingTragedyExposingCondescending Author:Howard Barker
“When I write, I am not giving a lecture, I am speculating on behavior. Sometimes this is dangerous, but it should be. As I say often, theatre is a dark place and we should keep the light out of it.” GivingShouldWritingSometimesLightDarkDangerousBehaviorTheatreLecturesDark Places Author:Howard Barker
